"It has very fast backup and can handle a huge amount of data. It also enables really fast recovery."
"It allows us to easily take a Snapshot and use it with any backup tools. We can also take Snapshots on the application side. We can also take Snapshots on the application side. If we want to restore an SAP or an Oracle machine, a normal Snapshot won't do it, but we can do so with SnapCenter."
"What is very handy for our clients is the consolidated view. They have a dashboard with everything, through a single pane of glass. This is what they really need because, within seconds, they can have a good overview and see if there are any errors or any issues."
"The backup process finishes very quickly."
"I like the instant backups and recovery feature that SnapCenter provides within NetApp storage systems."
"The Exchange plugin is the most valuable because we have a lot of customers that use SnapManager Exchange and have to migrate to SnapCenter."
"Being able to add everything in as resource groups is a valuable feature... Having all the SQL servers put into specific buckets, based on their year of release - 2008, 2012, 2014 - allows us to get almost immediate backups that are easily seen and reported on."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows's most useful features is the ease of use and user-friendly."
"We found the initial setup to be quite simple."
"The solution is meeting all of our client's requirements. It has good performance."
"Technical support is good. They're very responsive. It depends on the timezone responding, but I usually get a response within three hours of creating a ticket."
"The installation of Veeam Agent is straightforward."
"I like working on the Azure platform."
"To do the actual backup configuration is also not too bad."
"I would like to see replication support between systems. Right now, it's kind of limited. We manage them separately from the storage system interface, not from SnapCenter. It would be nice if it was integrated into SnapCenter."
"If it was possible to create backups on non-NetApp storage, that would be helpful."
"I want to see a few more features add that will help our team in managing solution better."
"The DBAs are comparing it to SMO but it doesn't have a lot of the functionalities that SMO has."

"We would like to see more granular repording and reporting in bigger sets available in SnapCenter."
"We have experience some difficulties with our current support. We are engaging in engineering level support because some of our problems are more technical."
"There is one area that needs improvement and that's in the alerting. When you set up your SMTP alerts, it only has - and I don't understand why - the ability to send an anonymous SMTP. It doesn't do basic authentication, which frustrated me for a while until I figured out that I'm not missing something. It's just not there."
"We need some sort of security for backups and archives."
"Maybe in the future, they could do something better with the user interface and the performance, but so far it's a really good, efficient solution."
"I would like to have a more automated installation process."
"There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure."
"Some customers have Oracle databases and Veeam does support back up of Oracle databases."
"The support could be improved a lot, as it is currently non-existent."
"There are not many options available for AIX backup. They provide the agent for AIX, but it could be more mature."
"In the next release, I would like to see it easier to implement."
